That’s a wrap on our Leadership Summit 2025! Today our current and future leaders from across our Group gathered for the Leadership Summit (South) at Lewisham College for our second day of collaboration, innovation and impact. After a wonderful welcome from CEO Liz Bromley, Principal Jamie Stevenson and Dr Katerina Kolyva from Education and Training Foundation we were lucky enough to be entertained by learners from both the Lewisham Student Choir and Dance Group 🙌👏 We continued our conversations around AI in education and leadership, and explored the impact we make individually and collectively on our students, our staff and our wider communities. Today’s fireside chat (luckily without an actual fire to add more heat) featured Sarah McGrath, Christian Thersby, Simon Ross and Candice McCausland, sharing their journeys into their leadership roles and the lessons they’ve learned along the way. A huge thank you to everyone at Lewisham College for the warm welcome and for all of our wonderful leadership community and special guests for attending on the hottest of days and contributing to today’s discussions. 👏 #NCGLeadership #OneNCG
